Built-in HD Radio™ for digital sound
Your favorite AM/FM stations never sounded so good. The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD65 CD receiver lets you tune in digital HD Radio brodcasts, cranking up the sound quality significantly. Many stations take advantage of the multicasting feature, which lets them broadcast additional channels on the same radio frequency, so you have more listening choices. And it's all backed by the Arsenal two-year warranty.

Put Pandora® Internet Radio in your dash
JVC makes it easy to play your favorite Pandora stations. With your iPhone connected, you can skip songs, change stations, and rate songs using the receiver's controls. Plus, the 1-amp USB port charges devices quicker and keeps them charged while they're multitasking.

Separated Variable Color display
The KD-AHD65 features a super cool display that lets you change the colors on the controls independent from those on the screen — with over 30,000 possible shades per side. That means you can create the ultimate color scheme, match your dash perfectly, or just let the colors cycle continually for a fun effect.

Want to keep your steering wheel controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this JVC stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the JVC, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

Why replace your factory radio?

Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.

Product Research

HD Radio

Built-in HD Radio: With the built-in HD Radio tuner, you can
receive digital AM/FM broadcasts from local stations where available. HD Radio
technology significantly improves audio quality and reception, as well as
includes information such as artist name and song titles or traffic news,
viewable on the receiver's display. HD Radio Technology will deliver
high-quality digital sound. AM digital will have FM-like quality in stereo,
while FM digital will have CD-like quality sound with static free and clear reception.

Note: HD Radio is the system for digital AM and FM
broadcasting in the U.S. More than 2,000 radio stations are broadcasting
their primary signals in digital HD Radio technology, as a free service. Go
to HDRadio.com to
check for HD Radio stations in your area.

Multicasting: In addition to conventional broadcasts, with
HD Radio broadcasting, it is possible to choose from up to 8 multicast programs
(HD1 to HD8 and analog). There are also data programs for each program.

Text Display: AM/FM digital stations can offer text and data
such as artist names and song titles. The built-in HD Radio tuner displays song
title, artist and station information on the display of the JVC Arsenal KD-AHD65.

iTunes Tagging: It is possible to save the song's
information (tag) from a HD Radio broadcasting station to your USB-direct
connected iPod/iPhone. The songs will show up in a playlist called "Tagged" in
iTunes the next time you sync your iPod/iPhone. Then you can directly buy the
songs you want from the iTunes Music Store. You can "tag" up to 50 songs.

Note: Your iPod/iPhone must have at least 50MB of free space to
"tag" and transfer songs. iTunes 7.4 or later is required to purchase
"tagged" songs.

Digital/Analog Tuning: You can setup the KD-AHD65 to search
both analog and digital radio stations, only HD Radio stations, or analog radio
stations only.

Digital/Analog Presets: You can set up to 18 FM and 6 AM
digital/analog presets stations as presets (HD Radio multicast channels can also
be preset). Presets can be set manually or automatically, using Strong-station
Sequential Memory (SSM).

Radio Timer: You can tune into a preset station at a
specific time regardless of the head unit's current source. You can activate the
Radio Timer once, daily, or turn it completely off.

Mono Mode: If an analog FM stereo broadcast is hard to
receive, you can manually switch the tuner to Mono operation.

IF Filter: You can also switch the analog tuner's IF filter
to Wide or Auto to increase/decrease the sensitivity.

US/European Tuning: You can set the built-in AM/FM tuner
between US standard and European tuning spacing.

for the playback source, the disc will start from where it has been stopped
previously.

Off Insert/Eject: A CD disc can be inserted or ejected with
the power off. When a disc is inserted with the power off, the unit will
automatically power up and begin playback.

Disc Protection: If the ejected disc is not removed within
15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot to
protect it from dust. The source will change to CD, and the disc will begin
playback, even if you have another source selected at the time.

Mounting: For proper disc playback you must install the unit
within 30-degrees of horizontal.

USB/iPod/Aux Connectivity

Note: Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change
functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may
need to reset the head unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If
this doesn't work, you may need to wait until a newer software update is available.

Dual Auxiliary Inputs: A front-panel & rear-panel stereo minijack
are provided to allow the connection of portable
audio sources. Simply connect your portable digital music player to either
the unit's front or rear auxiliary input, and you can listen to the audio from the portable player through the
speakers in your mobile audio system.

Audio Section

MOSFET Amplifier: The KD-AHD65 is equipped with a MOSFET
amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification
circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less
distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder
and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the
amplification circuit.

CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the KD-AHD65
are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement
standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were
developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and
between manufacturers. The power output specs for the KD-AHD65 are as follows:

Amplifier Gain Control: When you
are using the KD-AHD65 with factory speakers (or those rated to less than 50
watts peak), the Amplifier Gain Control can limit the amount of power being sent
to those speakers. When the Amp Gain Control is set to "low," the volume control
ranges from 0 (minimum) to 30 (maximum). When using speakers rated higher than
50 watts peak, you can set the Amp Gain Control to "high," and the volume
control will range from 0 to 50.

Volume Adjust: The input level of each source (other than FM) is
adjustable relative to the FM radio volume, so there isn't a significant volume
difference when changing sources. Each source is individually adjustable from -5
to +5.

Loud (Loudness): This feature boosts low and high frequencies to produce a well-balanced sound at a low volume
level. You can turn this feature on or off.

4.8V/6CH Preamp Output: The KD-AHD65 is equipped with three
pair of 4.8V preamp outputs (Front/Rear/Subwoofer). The front & rear preamp
outputs offer balance/fade control and are designed to hookup to a full-range
4-channel amplifier. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading and designed to
hookup to a mono-block subwoofer amplifier.

High-Pass Crossover: The KD-AHD65 features a High-Pass
Crossover for the front & rear speaker-outputs or preamp-outputs. You can adjust
the high-pass crossover from 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 150 Hz, or Off. The 'Off' selection
is a full-range setting.

Subwoofer Controls: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD65 offers the
following subwoofer controls, when you have the unit's subwoofer preamp output
activated.

Subwoofer Level: Once the Subwoofer preamp output is
activated, you can independently control the subwoofer preamp output level
(0-8) from the CD receiver.

Key-Touch Tone: The in-dash head unit provides an audible
beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.

Display Features

Detachable Face: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD65 CD receiver features a detachable face to deter theft. A face-fixing screw is
supplied for making the face non-detachable, if desired.

Note: No face case is included with this unit. An
optional soft face case (142DFC1X,
sold separately) can be purchased for this unit.

Variable Color LCD & Key Illumination: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD65
features 29 color presets for the LCD and button illumination. You can choose
one of these color presets or select the ColorFlow mode which scrolls through
all 29 color presets. Additionally, there is a User preset, allowing you to
individually adjust the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue from 0 to 31;
resulting in approximately 30,000 custom color options. The chosen color preset
or custom color can be applied to the display panel and the backlighting for all
the buttons except the eject button (it remains red).
You can choose to use the same color for the LCD display and button
illumination, or use a separate color for each one. You can also select a
different color for daytime and nighttime in regards to the unit's LCD and
button illumination.

Brightness: The unit offers an adjustable display and button
illumination brightness level (0-31) for day and nighttime driving.

Display/Button Illumination Dimmer: The display/button
illumination dimmer can be set to Off (normal brightness at all times), On
(display/button illumination is always dimmed), or Auto (display dims when
12-volts is applied to the orange/white illumination lead).

Bluetooth/Remote Control

Optional Bluetooth: The
unit's rear-panel auxiliary input can also be used to connect JVC's KS-BTA100
Bluetooth Adapter (105KSBTA10, sold separately).
The KS-BTA100 must be plugged into the rear-panel auxiliary input, and not
the front-panel auxiliary input. The front-panel auxiliary input does not
support Bluetooth. The KS-BTA100 gives
you hands-free communication from your compatible Bluetooth mobile phone and
wireless streaming audio from a Bluetooth enabled digital audio player. The
optional JVC Bluetooth Adapter includes a super-sensitive microphone, an
Answer/End button, and playback controls. The KD-AHD65 can be set to
automatically mute any music audio to your vehicle's speakers so you can listen
to your telephone call using your car speakers.

Wireless Remote Control: The
KD-AHD65 comes supplied with a wireless remote control (RM-RK52). The remote
contains Attenuator, Sound, Source, Tracking, and Volume functions. The
remote operates off of a single CR2025 3V Lithium-cell battery (included).

Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit also
features an OEM steering wheel remote control input wire (blue/yellow) within
the included wiring harness that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio
steering wheel remote controls when used with the optional PAC SWI-RC Steering
Wheel Control Interface Adapter (541SWIRC,
sold separately); or the optional Metra ASWC Steering Wheel Control Interface
Adapter (120ASWC,
sold separately).

Nice JVC head unit

This sucker rocks. I love the HD Radio, very easy to use. Looks great when installed and sound quality is good. I love the different color display options for the buttons. You can control your iPod on your iPod which is great.

Awesome little unit

Solid little unit. Audio quality is good when loud is switched to on (paired with infinity reference door speakers). I love the rear aux input so that I can hook in an AptX reciever instead of regular bluetooth. Great little unit that fits nicely in the car. Just beware the FM receiving isn't really good.

JVC Arsenal stereo

Great stereo all the way around. It has all the features an audiophile could ask for. The equalizer has tons of settings for perfecting the sound of your music. I paired this stereo with some Kicker speakers, and the sound quality and power output are amazing. I love the USB input, which allows you to control an iphone or ipod through the stereo, rather than fiddling with the device itself. I highly recommend this stereo.

Pros:Great sound quality. Lots of settings and input options.

Cons:The plastic faceplate has a little bit of flex to it when you push the buttons. It would be nice if it felt a little sturdier.

JVC Replacement

I bought this to replace an older model JVC radio in my car. The salesman at Crutchfield told me the unit would plug in without having to rewire anything. That's the main reason I bought another JVC radio so I wouldn't have to rewire the setup. Well he was wrong! The wiring is the same but the plugs aren't. The old unit has a big plug and the new unit a small plug. So I will have to rewire the plug after all. So I'm not too happy about that. The reason for the one star on ease of use.

Cons:Unit wiring not the same as the plugs are different size. Don't believe what the salesman says unless you can verify what they tell you.

I like it

Good value, Sound quality is good for me, if you talk to my wife that means nothing. Ease of use is as good as any. By that I mean I don't need glasses to drive, but to operate the radio I should have them on! So I have a learning curve to remember what buttons do what. Not the same flush mount as factory radio, but that is fairly common I would guess. Works well with my IPod. Instructions from Cructhfield again and as always made the install so easy with harness for the car. Took all of maybe an hour to install.

Pros:Color background can be adjusted to match, or come close to factory.
Looks good
Front USB and Aux connections

JVC Arsenal

Pretty happy with the new radio. Installation was a snap with the wiring harness and adaptor face plate. Thanks so much for making good stereo equipment available to us at a reasonable price. Crutchfield has been around for a long time and continues to offer first class service.

Great Vlue

For the money this stereo packs in a lot options. The only thing that would make it better would be radio data service for song and album titles, but I knew that wasn't there when I bought it. I'm still very happy with what I spent versus what I received. $129 for everything including the install kit.

Pros:Lots of features for the money.

Cons:Set-up changes are a little tedious, however, there is a lot of customization which is good.

Clean look and easy function

Easy install and noticed a difference right away with my stock speakers, then sounded even better with my aftermarket speakers (which I also got from Crutchfield). I like the Pro Equalizer as it has more specific adjustments than most equalizers. The HD radio is nice as well the stations sounds much clearer. I would recommend this for someone looking for an entry level head unit.

Pros:Adjustable color illumination so it matches my dash lights.
Good equalizer.
HD radio

Cons:Display screen has a lot of glare during the day so it is sometimes hard to read.
Not very good instructions for using a non-iPod mp3 player.

Cons:Muting is done with the volume knob,if you hit a bump while adjusting the volume you will end up muting it instead!
A lot of features,but navigating thru the process of changing what you want is time consuming and sometimes confusing.

Great stereo

Best stereo for the money, USB and aux inputs, easy to use, color changing ability (makes the wife think I got it for her) Great sound quality from stock speakers. Best Stereo I have ever bought and one of the cheapest. I might buy a couple more for my other cars.

1ST CLASS SERVICE ALL THE WAY!! CUSTOMER FOR LIFE.

The Customer Service at cruchfield is the best....have been with them for over 16 years.and when I need something they are always thear for me.my service person who took my order on the phone has been with the company for 22 years and he knows his stuff.....let me tell you.if you ever.... and I mean ever have a problem with anything they will be more then happy to help. Mr, Cruchfield have done a Great Job with his people over the years!!! I'am a customer for Life. will be back soon guys.

Great Radio

This radio for the price is great. I bought it because it has 4.8 volts on the pre-amp. I put it in hooked up my subs and couldnt be happier. If your looking for a great radio thats a great price this is the best for the money.

KD-AHD65 better then KD-AHD69

I replaced a KD-AHD69 because the Source (On/Off) Button is positioned in a better place on the KD-AHD65. The Frequency Responce of the KD-AHD65 is listed as the same as the KD-AHD69 but sounds a little better, a little fuller for CD and USB songs. I used to use Sony in my car but I have changed and have used JVC since 2010. Sony makes the best remotes but JVC beats them in display/button color options. The sound levels are about the same. With the JVC you do not get the annoying beep, beep, beep everytime you shut off your car like you do with a Sony.

Pros:USB port - Many, many color options for the display and the buttons - built in HD Radio - use same KD-AHD69 plug for KD-AHD65

Cons:Depending on the color you chose, you might have to use different color settings for the buttons and the display to make both appear the same. If the buttons look too bright after you turn down the dimmer you may have to turn down Red and/or Green and/or Blue value by one or two.
KD-AHD69 remote on/off function worked but there is no remote on/off function for the KD-AHD65.

Great stereo with USB, few problems

I've always loved JVC stereos. This is about my fifth one over the years. This JVC arsenal is great. Excellent HD radio quality. I've always loved having the remote control in my truck, but this model doesn't let you turn the power on or off from the remote like my previous JVC radio remotes were capable of. The USB port is awesome, no more burning CDs. However, I'm having issues with files in a given folder playing out of order and not because the radio is on "random" play. I don't mind with music folders, but when listening to an audio book you really want these files to play in order. Make sure you format your flashdrive to FAT32. Even then files play according to a hierarchy, but even with files in numerical order in a folder you may still have issues with them playing in proper order. One last thing, if you have a folder with say 150 files there isn't a way to jump by 10s to a high numbered file like previous JVC stereos could by using the mode button. You have to thumb through them one at a time. Maybe I will eventually figure this out. Still an awesome stereo.

Pros:USB port, no need to burn CDs anymore. Remote control.

Cons:Can't turn radio on or off from remote. Can jump to high numbered files by 10s, have to move one by one through them. USB file order issues when playing, may not play in proper order.

Just Good

Good sound..Not that hard to figure out..Bought it for the sub-outs but they do not have enough drive..Hooked up Electronic crossover to rear output to work sub. for additional cost. Still has plenty of features for the price..

solid jvc

the quality i've come to expect from JVC. bit of a learning curve when getting acquainted with the unit, but pretty easy to use once you get used to it. sounds great on any system and easy to install. great unit for the price.

Love the ever changing lights

I had this installed in a 1992 Wrangler. I chose this unit for the HD radio and ability to choose what color display I wanted or to have it display them all in a rotating pattern. If you live in a big city I am sure HD is awesome. Where I live it sucks. So the chanels fade in and out and also skip like a record it's pretty bad. Has nothing to do with this unit, just HD reception is bad here.

Pros:Ever color changing display, remote, 2 ipod or other connections, USB for thumb drive connection. More bells and whistles than I need, but I got them.

Cons:None for the unit, just check out HD in your area first as you can not choose (that I am aware) to turn on or off HD and HD here in Louisville, KY sucks.

JVC brand I would recommend

This is my second JVC receiver from Crutchfield.I was so impress with my first JVC KD-AHD79 I had to buy this KD-AHD65 when i saw it on sale to put in my other vehicle. The KD-AHD65 may be an older model but the specs are about the same as the KD-AHD79. JVC car receivers has now become my brand I would recommend..

Fantastic Unit!

I installed this in my 1987 Mustang GT convertible upon the recommendation of Kyle my advisor I cannot be happier it has only been a short time and I only use the car for minimal use but I have to say the display is incredible I love the color features the brightness and the clarity,The HD Feature is so much better I can never go back to regular radio,If you look at the specs they are far better then more expensive radios it has everything you need and nothing you don't I highly recommend this brand and model radio You won't be disappointed!

JVC Arsenal KD-AHD65

Looks good, sounds good even with factory amp and speakers, unfortunately, it wouldn't move out of the demo mode and just keep rotating through all the functions.. Installation was very easy with the kit and harnesses, took about ten minutes.

Pros:Good sound, easy installation, the I pod connection on the front is a big plus.

Cons:Buttons are pretty small, the first one sent to me had to be returned. Still waiting for the second one. Scan didn't stop on any stations and I couldn't pick up many on manual scan. I have about 25 HD stations here and it only picked up one. Not sure what the sensitivity is on the radio but if that all you listen to, this is not the head unit for you. I bought it for the I pod connection so for the money it's still a pretty good buy.
